The Tanabe NF210's give you a 1.5 drop all away around. If that is what your looking for. That's what I have and the drop is just perfect for me. I have attached a picture of my car with the NF210's .

Yeah, you're right. Your setup will probably rub with the 1.5 inch drop in the front. Your car looks good.

Springs should be $150-$200. But, the cost can be cheaper if you know somebody in the automotive field.

the install was not hard at all. the 20s do not rub at all man. and the ride is great. i have only heard them rub once and that was because the road was uneven when i was making the u-turn, mind i was making the turn pretty quick.

I had tanabe GF210 and eibach prokit before but seems to me tanabe is lower than eibach for some reason.
